<h1>Applying color banding to a report or document</h1>
<p>You can apply background colors to alternating rows on a grid report. 
 This is called banding. Banding helps you view the data on a report more 
 easily. If you apply banding to a report and save the report, the current 
 banding setting is saved along with the report definition. See the image 
 below for an example of a banded report:</p>
<p><img src="images/banding.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="712px" height="244px" border="0" class="img_whs1"></p>
<p>MicroStrategy 
<a href="Selecting_an_autostyle_for_a_report.htm">autostyles</a>, 
 such as Colorful and Accounting, have banding as part of their format. 
 When one of these autostyles is applied to a report, the banding is applied 
 to the report as well. </p>
<p>If column banding is enabled in MicroStrategy Desktop, column banding 
 can be displayed in MicroStrategy Web when color banding is enabled.</p>
<h2>To show or hide banding on a report</h2>
<ol start="1" type="1" class="whs2">
